Thanks for the explanation Adam, I feel a bit like the girl who asked
for a kiss and in response you started to take your pants off......

I understand that the panel apps are usually third party, what I think
would be helpful is if somewhere someone wrote a blog entry that fully
explained that G3S is a framework, extensions supporting all the
previous panel apps could appear in time.

I've read threads where it's come across as multitasking/multi
application environments will just not be supported and development
thereof will be actively discouraged.

One request I would make is a workspace selector on the status bar,
from my laptop I VNC manage up to 14 machines in groups of 3 on each
workspace, being able to jump quickly from workspace to workspace
using the mouse was an incredibly easy way of doing things.
